Just a random thought or two...
With all of the plu-n-play devices for builders out there like FMC, radio heads, nav heads, and the like, what are the chances that someone could come up with a stand alone plug-n-play weather radar display?
I searched last night knowing that my chances of finding anything were about zero, but I did anyway.
A stand alone GPS is possible by extracting the GPS data from FS to display on a unit that has a serial or USB input, but what about WX radar?
What would that take software-wise to be able to offer something like this?
How is this replicated in the multi-million dollar Level-D sims?
Could a real radar display be modified and fed data extracted from FS in some way? This is way over my head, but I'd be interested in hearing some opinions on feasability and integration of something like this.
Mike has a working RWR display from an F-16 so it shouldn't be too far of a stretch to do the same with weather...should it?
